John Bruno's Problem Solving Skills:
- Molecular and Microbiology, DNA Aptamers, Assays, Fluorescence
John Bruno's Problem Solving Experience:
- 1) I developed and patented a means to conjugate proteins specifically to the 3' ends of PCR products to mass produce therapeutic DNA aptamer- and antisense-protein conjugates at lower cost.
2) Developed and patented naturally selected intrachain FRET-aptamers which have binding advantages over aptamer beacons for diagnostics.
